Poor imitators like cheese boards and fruit and veggie trays did not make the cut.
49.Jens Little Meat Pile (Season 3, episode 2)
49.
She would, of course,plead guilty to federal chargesmere months later.
A lackluster board for a depressing and deceptive conversation.
This is the only board in the whole series that actually feels offensive.
48.Justins Neglected Birthday Boards (Season 1, episode 6)
48.
Very low impact charcuterie, but that doesnt negate its presence.

A newly hatched sea turtle making its slow trek into the ocean.
A woman in Utah building a charcuterie board when someone is coming over to her house.

No thought goes into their execution.
Thats why this board sits idly as Whitney leads Jen outside for their planned evening in the hot tub.
42.Milwaukee Meat Mayhem (Season 5, episode 3)
42.
The girls travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and are greeted with this spread.
The cheese isnt sliced.
Its not often Wisconsin gets a chance on a Bravo show, and it blew it.
At least it has the Waterpark Capital of the World.
41.The Triptych (Season 3, episode 5)
41.
Three establishing shots of three different charcuterie boards.
Theyre beautiful, but they lack narrative substance.
It goes mostly untouched.
39.Meager Post-Arrest Spread (Season 2, episode 10)
39.
The full spread offers many options, but its significant that the charcuterie board is among them.
A little bit of Utah comfort in exotic Colorado.
Its rather sparse for being assembled by a boutique vacation-rental company, though.
38.Jennies Debut Display (Season 2, episode 1)
38.
37.Jesus Christ and the Platter-Day Saints (Season 5, episode 7)
37.
This is exactly the kind of no-nonsense charcuterie board that belongs at a church event.
It looks so in its element that its almost beautiful.
The women dont really engage with the board, but the rest of the guests absolutely load up.
Perhaps, like Britani, it finds more success outside the group.
36.Lisas Solo Board (Season 5, episode 7)
36.
Lisa goes out to lunch with her sister and orders a charcuterie plate.
She really cannot get enough of the stuff.
35.Tong City (Season 4, episode 12)

Any bonus points she might receive for her honesty are negated by how distracting her tongs are.
34.Merediths Ostentatious Display for Three (Season 2, episode 14)
34.
No one could guess based on this image alone that Meredith is having two women over to her house.
All of this is for her, Lisa, and Jennie.
Meredith shouldve let such a lovely board sing.

Stealthy Board (Season 4, episode 2)
33.
The shallow depth of field in this particular shot tells the story.
32.Meredith and Seths Ambience Board (Season 2, episode 2)

Important to note that Seth also just brought home more food and its only the two of them.
31.Heathers Baby-Shower Tower (Season 1, episode 3)
31.
30.The First Domino to Fall (Season 1, episode 3)
30.
A very meager offering at Merediths house when she, Brooks, and Chloe entertain Jen.
This board paved the way.
29.Shah-mazing Charcuterie (Season 1, episode 6)
29.
Instead, it coasts to the middle of the pack on its beauty alone.
The fruit and meat balance is perfect.
It looks full but not sloppy.

Finally, one of Merediths boards gets some work.

Another board from Meredith!

We only get this cinematic close-up of the board, but it looks robust.
26.The Farewell-to-Mormonism Board (Season 3, episode 1)
26.
Whitney puts together a gorgeous board, it must be said.
25.Shabbat Charcuterie (Season 2, episode 1)
25.
Meredith bravely presents the fourth(!)
board of the season-two premiere.
Or, more accurately, fourth and fifth.
Theres a certain poeticism there.
24.Apres-Ski Outdoor Board (Season 2, episode 5)
24.
This is a rare board where we know its origins.
It was asked for by name; it wasnt just sitting on a counter, awaiting consumption.
She immediately sets a tone of service and snacks.
22.Scottsdale Spread (Season 3, episode 2)
22.
21.Trixie Meat-el (Season 4, episode 4)
21.
Heather, are there dates on that charcuterie plate?
Lisa asks as the women feast on meat and fruit at the Trixie Motel.
This offers a unique insight.
This speaks volumes about her character.
20.Marys First Rodeo (Season 4, episode 7)
20.
19.Jack/Lisas Utensil-Forward Mission-Call Display (Season 4, episode 8)

16.

Boy do I have good news for her.
15.Adult Stepson Birthday Board (Season 2, episode 1)
15.
She then proceeds to drop the birthday boys cake (do we ever learn these mens names?)
three times while wearing a bikini.
Its a fabulous scene and a fabulous board, but it doesnt pull enough focus to rank any higher.
14.Wear Your Seatbelt!
(Season 2, episode 5)
14.
The discovery of this board was incredibly rewarding.
The board itself is simple.
It doesnt beg for attention.
It knows something bigger than itself is afoot.

10.Wild Rose Beauty Board (Season 2, episode 13)

The photo shoot cost $20,000, and its unclear how much of that budget went to the charcuterie.
Its nice to look at, though.
9.Politely Rejected Board (Season 5, episode 13)
9.
I probably wont eat anything.
I dont have an appetite.
It remains dependable and impeccably arranged throughout the heart-wrenching conversation that follows.
The tongs continue to distract.

8.
The humble charcuterie board proves its versatility at the Garbage Trash Whore Lingerie Party.
The perfect backdrop for pushing your cousin into a window while shes already freaking the fuck out.
Notice how the charcuterie board holds steady in the foreground while a longtime alliance falls to pieces behind it?
The one true constant in these womens lives.
7.Mob Wives Anniversary Display (Season 5, episode 6)
7.
The board secured this single-digit spot with its size and grandeur.
It offers a welcome pop of color in their white, white home.
Theyre very popular people.
They run a hair empire for Christs sake!
6.Parking Lot Charcuterie (Season 5, episode 5)

After zip-lining, the dirt-spattered women tailgate in an unpaved parking lot.
Only Mary has qualms about this setup.

She longs for utensils!
Its inspiring to see her stand up for herself like this.
A world in which someone serves her food thats been cooked.
1.The Belle of the Ball (Season 3, episode 2)
1.
This opens the door to another question: Does Meredith not make her own charcuterie boards?
Or is she simply shocked that Whitney has the expertise to do so?
I mean, look at that single, whole pear.
That couldve only been positioned there by the steady hand of a true artist.
It is the best, most fruitful (lol) charcuterie board of the series.
